Strategic Plan is focused on clear academic and career pathways,
student-focused services, collaboration with education and business partners,
and engaged employees to ensure equitable access and success for students. In
2015, OCC became one of two community colleges in New York State accepted into
Achieving the Dream network, a comprehensive national non-governmental
community college reform movement on student success. The institution is
